Since we live outdoors so much here in Florida, we need lighting to help us at the BBQ and especially when I take the dog out after dark.
Outdoor led lighting is the perfect solution for me. I can place them around our patio and since they are solar powered, I will have enough light to see after dark.
I also love the idea of having LED Christmas lights. They hardly use any wattage and will save me money in the long run.
Blog Prompt – How do you feel about celebrating your birthday?
I hate it!! I know its just a number, but when the number hits those dreaded century birthdays and then when you hit the half century mark, oh my goodness!! I am over a half century old.
My brain tells me I am much younger, but my body is telling me different. I surely can’t do what I use to. But, I still try.
The most important birthdays are 16 and 21, for obvious reasons. But then 30, 40 and then 50 came along. If my birthday gives me a reason to be with friends and family to enjoy a good meal and birthday cake, then its worth it. Oh yea, lets not forget birthday cake. To me, thats some of the best cake ever.
The birthday everyone looks forward to here where I live is 62. Yup, you celebrate the idea you made it to that age and you get the wonderful check from the government you have worked so hard all your life for. I still have a few years, but my husband will get his next year!! Yea, a little more money coming into this house. One can always use a little more.
I hope everyone having a birthday today, tomorrow and in the future, to have a good one!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Miss Crow’s Magickal Emporium has a really cute set of elements called Country Cottage. Cute cluster frames and papers. You can find them here.
There are many more items with this collection.
And here is a layout I did with some of the elements and paper. I also used an element from Altered Valentine, record keeping stamps and glitter from her Spring kit.
See you next time,
As many of you already know, I live in Florida, so a great deal of our time is spent outside. I love sitting on my lanai and watching my butterfly garden and the birds at their feeders. The only problem I have sitting out there is that we have the most uncomfortable furniture ever!!
I think I have found the right outdoor furniture for the lanai that will be durable, very comfortable and nice on the eyes. There are all types of products to choose from such as seating, dining, bars and storage boxes. They also have great cushions to match my decor. I just love the outdoor wicker patio furniture available now. And I must have one of those great Fire Pits for those chilly Florida nights on the patio.
I am also looking for new bedroom furniture for our guest room and I am wanting a new bathroom vanity for the guest bath also. I just hate when guests come and they aren’t comfortable. There is such a great selection of bathroom vanity sets to choose from, I don’t know where to begin. I love the one in the picture to the left. That will go perfect with the white bedroom furniture I picked out too.
There are great sales and free shipping on some items at Max Furniture. The website has a great room planner where you can figure out if the furniture you are picking out will fit and you can see how it will layout before you buy.
Be sure and check out Max Outdoorliving.com today for great deals on furniture.
Blog Prompt – What needs cleaning in your house?
The dadgum garage still!! Its getting there though.
My husband just brought a car load of stuff from a rental home we sold and where do you put it? There are things lined up all around the car. Just enough room to pull the car in. I try to put something up everything I go out there and especially try and throw away something. There’s no need to keep a person’s garage looking like …..well……A GARAGE!!
Now on to happier things.
I recently had the honor of using Cara Mia Designz newest kit called Remember when and you can find it in her store here. I just love the colors and had loads of fun with it.
Here is a layout with this fabulous kit.

As most of you already know, I have been wearing eyeglasses since I was 1 1/2 years old. A very long time and a lot of money for office visits, glasses and contacts. Every few years I need a new pair of glasses, which cost me about $500.00!!
I am always looking for great deals anywhere and I think I have found a great place for frames at zennioptical.com.
ZenniOptical.com Sells Stylish Prescription Glasses Online. You will find huge selection of frames, with single vision lens, sun sensor lens, tinted sunglasses lens, bifocal lens and progressive lens. The Secret to Zenni’s Low Prices is that they sell only their own manufactured frames direct to the customer, with no middlemen and virtually no advertising budget. You can buy a pair of single vision glasses for $8.00!! WOW!! They also have glasses with clip on sunglasses. I wear those now and love that. Don’t have to buy a seperate pair of sunglasses.
I love this company so much and evidently the New York Times loves them too. They were featured in an article by the Times. It is a great article explaining how easy it is to take your prescription and order your glasses online.

I just came up on a great site where I found some beautiful sterling silver rings at Jewels of Denia. What a selection of rings, bracelets and earrings to choose from. One really caught my eye. The etolle ring is a beautiful sterling silver ring with a beautiful dusting of flush-mounted diamond CZs. Crafted of the finest .925 sterling silver, the band is highly polished for maximum, long-lasting shine.
